Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (GOLIATH'S GIRL) (5-1) - Price play has the best early speed and is attempting a two-turn distance and is facing winners, both for the first time. Lightly-raced filly was an easy 4.5 length gate-to-wire maiden winner going seven furlongs at this $20K tag June 30 at Santa Anita. A career best, trainer Phil D'Amato has worked her twice since, and 3-year-old has room for upside.
2nd pick: #2 (Plastered) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, she makes her west coast debut in her first race since May 19. Stalker has a new trainer (Rich Baltas 22% with new arrivals) and she's working both frequently and above average. She's been competitive in three f her four starts on real dirt and it's noted that 'Hall of Famer' Gary Stevens is aboard.
3rd pick: #6 (Joan of Arch) (3-1) - Consistent sort is dropping down in class and switches from turf to dirt. She's been sharp in her last three dirt races and was an impressive maiden winner at this distance on the main track at Santa Anita in early October.
